Allusion Farmstay and Vineyard

25/04/2025

Today we pause to remember and give thanks to all the brave men, women, and service animals who have served and continue to serve our country.

Because of your courage and sacrifice, we are able to live freely and enjoy this beautiful life in Australia.

Lest we forget.

Have you visited yet??

We got our first chance to pop out over the easter weekend and it was nothing short of bloody amazing!!

Amazing service, amazing venue, amazing food and even better (if it’s possible) drinks!

If you’re visiting our gorgeous town (or you’re a local who hasn’t been yet!)- run don’t walk.
It’s totally worth it!

Hot tip- Their arancini is life…

My favourite time of the day- the early morning breakfast run.
Everyone’s happy to see me, no one complains about what they get and they finish every scrap!

Joey the Highland cow soaking up all the love and attention (as usual).
The kids couldn’t get enough of him during their stay at our farm — sunshine, cuddles and golden hay made for a perfect start to the day for everyone!

School holiday magic at its finest.
Have you booked for winter holidays yet??

Quiet, calm mornings on the farm.

Norah is glowing as she awaits her little one.

This pretty much sums up our funny farm and that our continued work towards harmony is paying off…

Aussie the emu sharing breakfast with Spike the horse while Millie keeps a watchful eye (and Scrappy doing the rounds..).

Just another normal but random morning at Allusions!

We just received the sweetest note from some of our lovely guests, Leni, Skyla, and Wendy, after their weekend stay at the farm.

It’s heartwarming to see how much they enjoyed their time with our animals—especially Spotty, Millie and the cows!

Creating special memories for our guests is what Allusions Farmstay is all about. Thank you for your kind words—we’ll miss you too!

Anyone else got a goat in their office today? 🐐

Working from the farm hits differently when your coworker tries to drink your morning coffee and put his two cents worth in…

At least the office view is unbeatable on a day like this! ☀️

And then there were two. 🐾✨

Millie and Henry, our loyal Maremma guardians.

These two are always on duty, keeping a watchful eye over Allusions Farmstay, protecting our land and animals with their gentle but steadfast presence.
Whether lounging in the sun or patrolling the paddocks, they’re an essential part of life here. Have you met them yet? 💛

How lucky are we to have such amazing friends on the farm?

Megan & Kerrin spent the day helping out, and no one was more grateful than Blake Thunder! 🐖✨
After getting a fresh, clean pen, he came up for a well-earned scratch and some love.

Farm life is all about community, connection, and giving back to the animals who make it so special. Huge thanks to our farm family for always pitching in!

🌿✨ A Love-Filled Farm Celebration ✨🌿

Congratulations to Makenzie & Aggie on their breathtaking boutique wedding! 💍💕

From the stunning countryside backdrop to the beautifully styled tablescape and locally sourced florals from one of our wonderful neighbours, every detail made this day so magical.

A feast for the senses with a gorgeous grazing spread, dreamy rustic décor, and the delicious Woodford Pizzas 🍕—the perfect recipe for love and celebration!

Wishing these two a lifetime of happiness, adventure, and all the love in the world. 🥂💛

Wood-fired pizza and wine afternoons with family—just what we needed after a hectic few weeks! 🍕🍷

Apologies for the radio silence, it’s been crazy busy around here!

Toby, the friendliest lamb you’ll ever know! 🐑💕

He’s always up for a kiss and cuddle and loves all the attention.
Moments like these remind us how special our connection with animals can be. 🌿✨
Who else loves spending time with their furry (or woolly) friends?

Had the best time making dumplings with my amazing sister and niece! 🥟✨

We also made our Lao Lao’s famous seaweed salad- ours may not have been quite as good as hers but it was still sooo delicious and we feel so lucky she trusted us with her recipe!!

Cooking together truly brings so much joy—and look at these beauties we made- that was half of them 😂

What’s your favourite dish to make with friends or family? ❤️

Peacock babies!!!!!

We’ve learnt a lot over the past few years and have put a lot of love and effort into resurrecting our run down little vineyard.
We took a chance with how we decided to prune this year and was a little (a lot…) unsure if it would pay off or not so when I spotted baby grapes a few days ago my heart nearly burst open!!

We are lucky enough to have another vineyard in the Barossa which we were able to pick from to make the bulk of our wine last vintage but can’t wait to make a 100% Allusions grown wine next time!!

We had a few small wins this past week with our farm and just can not wait to share our space with our beautiful community and visitors soon!!
